NEW BRIGHTON played the wrong game in the difficult conditions at Vale of Lune and fell to a surprise North Two West defeat against lowly opposition.
Mar 31 2008 by Our Correspondent, Liverpool Daily Post
Vale with a relegation battle on their hands were really up for the contest and hardly missed a tackle.
The Blues forwards had their moments with two tries for Kati Tuipulotu and one conversion via Gareth Jones.
But the home side scored three tries, a conversion and a penalty and deserved the victory.
On the debit side Brighton back-row man Josh Bates suffered a serious ankle dislocation in the first period and faces an operating theatre date today.
On a brighter note coach Steve Dorrington joined Mark Dorrington in the pack during the second-half from the replacements bench. The two brothers between them have now made 900 appearances for the Hartsfield outfit.
